Argentina says economic activity jumps 3.8 percent in June

BUENOS AIRES Aug 21 (Reuters) - Argentina's economic
activity grew 3.8 percent in June compared with the
same month a year earlier, government data showed on Friday, far
quicker than economists had expected.

Analysts polled by Reuters had forecast a median increase of
2.5 percent in the monthly EMAE economic activity index, which
is a close proxy for gross domestic product.
